Publisher's Summary

The new audiobook from number one best-selling author Jodi Picoult, with the biggest of themes: birth, death, and responsibility.

When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father. What the nurse, her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how this death will irrevocably change all of their lives, in ways both expected and not.

Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides and unites us. It is about opening your eyes.

©2016 Jodi Picoult (P)2016 Hodder & Stoughton

An exceptional book of hard truths

A well crafted novel that gives a glimpse of what it's like to truly be a minority in every day life... It's not enough to say 'I'm not racist! ' we need to relearn how to 'act and be' in order to use that placard.

What a great read

The same story in different perspectives. This book brought out a range of emotions in me, and being middle class European showed me how I’ve been living. There were surprises where least expected which held my interest all the way through. This is the first JP book for me but definitely not the last. The authors note at the end showed she carefully chose her subject while the narrators expertly transcribed and acted out the thought provoking subject. Good job done well Jodi.

Own life successes and failures.

Caused me to reflect on my own life successes and failures. Anything that causes me to reflect on my life, to reflect on truth, brings me closer to Christ.
